It doesn't matter if it's a select fire weapon or not the Vegas shooting proved that bump stocks are good for shooting up crowds. There is also a lower that fires around when you squeeze and when you release the trigger, it's legal to buy new in some states but not California I'd assume.
1) I don' believe you. Show me the manual, they're all in pdf. 2) The smaller size round is to allow you to carry more ammunition. 3) Modern war isn't like that. American soldiers and marines find the enemy and call in close air support, there is no sitting in trenches until one of you have exhausted your resources. 4) It's silly to believe for a second that the US military would provide a weapon that was only so-so for killing people. 5) This is a popular military meme, I've heard it about all kinds of things. I'm sure you thought you were government property and that an O-1000 promoted a e-0 in line at the NEX because of something something respect for military uniform.
I didn't see the sarcasm tag on your post and I'm very much hoping that you simply forgot to add it.

An AR-15 is a rifle. A rifle fires one shot per trigger pull. Just like ever other gun available to consumers. If you're thinking it was a full military automatic (more than one shot per trigger pull) then you're flat out wrong.
In California there are restrictions on magazine size and a bunch of other shit. Plus her handgun was firing what? 9mm right? That's not going to go as far or through as many walls, it's not even going to stop most people right away. A.223 has a much higher chance of killing you, last I checked she shot 4 people and they all lived, those numbers would probably be different if she had an ar-15. Finally yes there are civilian ar-15s (not m-16!) that will fire more than one round per trigger pull
I don't know if guns should be legal or have restrictions or what... but I know a bad post and you reeled me in with your dramatic opener and subsequent Dunning-Kruger award.
Medium-caliber cartridges like the.223 / 5.56mm used in an AR-15 are chosen by the military for their tendency to wound, rather than always killing, because wounding one soldier tends to take two or three out of the fight as his buddies stop fighting to focus on saving him.
This is outdated bullshit from WWII and has nothing to do with why we use the.223 Dude stop mashing together half ideas you heard from military wannabees at your gun club.
The media has been aggressively commercializing feminism for like a decade but I think the Cosby helped pull the spotlight from nerds and other socially defenseless awkwards over onto the media and celebrity types whose sexist behavior and harassment has always been rampant and more or less openly permitted. It's a bit of a witch hunt so I hope it doesn't become a new norm but I do hope it continues long enough to spread into other little enclaves of people who normally live beyond repercussions.
#metoo happened because it's such a common experience to be shit on by some other human being and just have to eat it because of the circumstance. So all of these people had been walking around for decades with these little demons waiting to be aired.
This was engineered by the outrage-media industry but really the whole fucking thing was beautiful because not only did a lot of creeps get totally exposed but the whole thing backfired and came back to fuck over so many important media and hollywood types. The same assholes who smugly lectured the rest of America and stirred to pot for power and profit over the smallest of social transgressions when in reality they're the slimest fuckers outside of Washington DC.
Slashdot introduced many social-media like features before there was a such thing as social media and people on the internet often closely associated their real identity with their online identity. The assumption being that the only people who would encounter your online identity would be your nerd pals. People used to put their home address on their signatures and talk shit on usenet every day for years without any consequences. It's so hard to imagine these days.
AI will also replace most of the "drudge-coders" and grunt-work-in-IT sooner than you believe.
It certainly feels like that's the case but I will defer to my education that has taught me that coding is one of the hardest problems to solve with a computer.
But how do we know the experts are right? After all it's hard to deny times are changing. From my perspective Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools are becoming better but unless I am not looking in the right places I don't see a lot of new features. I see CASE products adding all the features that were introduced in competing products 10 years ago. So despite obvious recent advancements in AI reaching consumer markets in fantastic ways (medical advancements, self-driving cars, etc) we haven't seen even boring advancements in the state of CASE products. This is counter to the naive impression that code-monkey work should be easily automated and in line with the expert consensus that computer programming is a hard problem in both the mathematical sense and the practical sense.
The truth is that software development was already automated a long time ago and now days we don't notice or even consider it automation. Code-monkey development doubly so.
I don't think it's happening this time. Did offshoring create new offshoring jobs for displaced workers? No. What's the difference between an API that makes a work ticket in a 3rd world country and an API that creates a task to be carried out by an AI?
What about the bottom that fell out of "unskilled labor" ages ago? janitors, office gophers, etc.
These used to be middle class jobs that would hopefully get filled for life by some competent nobody. Now turnover is completely expected. It doesn't matter if you have a complete set of handyman skills and make everything shine like new. The market rates for your labor as a janitor are so low that nobody is going to try to keep you around even if you're saving your employer a small fortune in repairs and maintenance every year. Did the unskilled labor market ever recover? No.
The days when you could be slow in the head but show up on time and do what your told are over. The people who need these jobs to live will be dogfood. Tell me stories about the buggy whip to defend your position all day but I'm not changing my mind until you tell me what happened to the horse. Technology has replaced most beasts of burden and dumb humans will be next.
Corporations are mandated to provide a maximized return for shareholders, and can be sued if they don't.
This is a popular meme but it was invented to absolve psychopath decision makers of responsibility. The reality is that this rarely actually happens and though I am not a lawyer I it seems to me that CxOs regularly engage in even more negligent behavior in pursuit of short term profits.
There is only the weakest of mandates that they maximize shareholder value, I am fuzzy on the details but it's along the lines that they actually do their job.
There is clearly a large H1B fraud industry in the USA. It's there flooding my inbox, recruiters who can barely speak english, with so little experience hiring actual americans that they don't know they can't ask me my birthday before extending a job offer.
As for diversity hires? Well yeah that's going on but there are so few available diversity candidates that your chances of even applying for the same job as a valid diversity candidate are slim.
Not to mention many of us can barely be fucked to return an actually broken item. The hell of standing behind these assholes in line and then jumping through all the hoops put up to block their abusive behavior is just not worth it for me. Do I have the original credit card, do I have the receipt? Is the warranty card in the box? Aw jesus fuck unless you do this regularly you don't even know if you'll successfully return the piece of shit when it's finally your turn at the counter!!
I also hate people who buy a bunch of the same thing so they can go home and try them all before they pick one. It would be kind of a good idea but like you said nobody is selling open box shit at full price, plus I have to wait in line behind them after they've bought clothes for their whole family and only kept a quarter of what they bought.. intentionally.. by design. Fuck them when I'm in line behind em at the cash register and they're loading up on shit they don't intend to keep and fuck them when I have one fucking actually broken thing to return and half the people are serial-returners bringing back more shit than I buy retail in a whole year. These people are almost all pleasure shoppers too so the entire experience is fun and they're going to take their sweet time.
Go look up how little norovirus it takes to make a healthy person into a sick person. Did you know that the effectiveness of your immune system may vary. So if you work your ass off all week on a deadline, head straight to the bar on friday night, and wake up with a hangover. You're going to get sick super easy.
You live in the middle of Silicon Valley where there is an epidemic of hepatitis via surface contamination. (Hep can survive on surfaces for weeks) There are also regular norovirus outbreaks. Both of these diseases can kill you and I'd hate to be the motherfucker who catches the both at the same time because his sleeve scraped some surface that some homeless supercarrier sat on to dump a load of bloody diarrhea.
Do you disagree with Obama that made the decision to appoint him to the FCC?
If what you say is true then I like Obama and dislike Pai. What was your point even supposed to be? That's just a stupid non-argument , I don't even think you're a real person but your shit logic was just so bad
You said you think you won't get addicted if you don't get high. Those are famous last words. You won't believe anyone when they suggest that your pain is opiate withdrawal. I mean that's silly, you never felt high.

At which point does this start to get silly?
When we start unbanning anything that feels good. Feeling good is for perverts and degenerates.
e problems like the latest version not available in the repos even for distro version barely 2 years old.
You know there are distros other than debian right?
